"Supporting Law Enforcement Officers and our Communities since 1981"
This award is given to an officer/officers who are wounded of seriously injured in the line of duty but survive.
Too often law enforcement officers make the ultimate sacrifice and we never get the opportunity to express our appreciation. This is an opportunity for their comrades and the community to express their gratitude for their service and sacrifice. The FOP chose to honor these officers as a reminder of the potential danger all officers' face in their daily efforts to protect and serve the public.
